Here, here!

A TOP-20 style user interface with recognition, completion and help is just
what UNIX needs. The recognition and completion of file name should be
implemented via system calls so that it could be used from within inter-
active programs as well.

Something like this, and a more uniform way of specifying options and flags
would greatly help in making UNIX more acceptable to the "real world" (and
of course to TOPS-20 freaks).
